Long story short, I was trying to make some pork buns and it ended with the tip of my thumb being sliced off, after hospital visit and six stitches and back. But I’m kind of bored out of my mind. Can’t do the steam deck. Can’t do really anything with a controller. I have a large library of games, most of which I haven’t even played. Anything that might be good for me? I could always put some hours into rimworld

    Just about anything that is turn based. Board games ports, Roguelike games like Balatro, Slay the Spire, 9 Kings. Civilization games and Civ-likes. You can even play ttrpg ports like Baldur’s Gate and Divinity but it might be a little annoying without an RPG mouse. I played a lot of Civ when my left arm was paralyzed then weirdly Wii tennis after surgery.

    I’m late, game recommendations are covered, but I can give you advice for healing your thumb. I’ve had the tips of my thumb and a finger glued back on as well as stitches on my fingers several times.

    Blood flow to the tip is important. Squeezing a stress ball or something helps. It’ll also keep the skin from healing too… tightly? If that makes sense.

    Keep it dry. If you need to bandage it, do it loosely and change it often. Cotton balls work really well to keep it dry as well as protect it from accidental impacts.

    If the doctor didn’t do a good job, trim the stitches so they don’t catch on anything. If you’re in America, take the stitches out yourself after 10-14 days or as soon as you can wiggle them freely. Nail clippers work really well to cut the stitch and pull it out.

    If you rip a stitch, you can use a careful dab of super glue to close it. Just make sure it’s clean and dry first.

    If you cut through the nail, it’ll grow back kinda fucked up. My nail healed in an M shape and dirt would get trapped in the middle so I put some Vaseline or something under it to keep it clean.

    Last but not least, you have a small window in which fingerprint evidence may be inadmissable in a court of law. Do with this information as you will.

      What kind of glue? I’m sure Elmer’s doesn’t cut it, some epoxies are probably toxic-- I haven’t hurt myself, just really curious.

        Super glue - cyanoacrylates. There are different formulas that work better or worse for wounds, it all has to do with polymer length iirc? But any cyanoacrylate glue will work as long as the skin is relatively dry and clean.

        Don’t put cotton on it while it’s curing.

        Disclaimer: This is not medical advice. I’m not a fucking doctor and I’ve almost lost several fingers due to negligence.

        But they’re still there, so…

    Lots of game recommendations here, but for hardware, look for a cheap MMO mouse. All the buttons you could ask for, on a single hand. Could unlock more games.

    Like others said, any turn-based game. Currently suffering enjoying SMT III Nocturne, others I’ve played are Octopath, Fire Emblem, Pokemon (esp Mystery Dungeon), Atlus in general. Balatro sounds nice. Rhythm heaven is WarioWare + Music, and that’s definitely doable one-handed, especially the Wii version. My mom said Fortune Street (Monopoly but Mario + Dragon Quest) lol.

    Mobile games can be very doable, a cute one I remember is Candies n’ Curses, a game where you swipe to direct the character around a haunted mansion and fight bosses. Easily can be played with one hand. If you can tolerate gachas, Cookie Run Kingdom can be put on auto so you don’t have to tap much, I just like the story and characters. I think Geometry dash can be doable on low levels with one hand?

    Find your inner weeabo and play some Japanese visual novels. Or if you’re a normal person then Ace Attorney would be a fantastic choice, and is a long-ass series. Prepare for courtroom bullshit and jokes.

    Gooning can be done one handed. If you need to use the other hand, stick with an index or middle finger.

    Can’t do the steam deck.

    You can, as long as the game works based on touch input only.

    So games like Civ 5, Shadowrun, Slay The Spire, Mini Metro should be fine.

    The Civ games are great one handed as they are turn based. Civ 5 and 6 are what kept me sane when I broke my hand just before COVID lockdown
